Claire's old aquarium has a volume of 27,000cm3. She bought a new aquarium in which the length and width are 5 times those of her old tank. What is the volume of Claire's new aquarium?

The length and width are both 5 times those of her old tank. Because V = l*w*h, the new volume must be 5l*5w*h. Multiply the old volume by 5*5 = 25.
L=26 w=31 h= 15
